I was putting on a screen door yesterday and I randomly picked this out of my library to balance the door onto the frame so that I could screw it in. The door isn’t the right size but at least it’s there. I have many books that I have gotten at different places but have never read. I am deciding that I am going to read this a little at a time. Why not?
First, I will look at each word that I do not know and find a definition.
At the beginning of the book is a guide called the table of contents. It tells you what will be in the book. Then at the end of the book is a glossary of definitions for some of the words that are in the book and then it has an index. A person can look for key words that are in the book in the index. The index will tell you how many times, and what pages these key words are on. the word that I wanted to look up isn’t anywhere in these places so I will have to look in a dictionary or type it into a search engine like Google, or Firefox or Microsoft edge. Is yahoo still a search engine? Ok look at the picture and find all of the words that you don’t know.
Structural organization is one of the words that I don’t know. I wanted a simple definition but when you search it, it’s a huge subject within itself!
The Artificially Intelligent (AI) overview at Google says:
“The structural organization of the body from simplest to most complex is: molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism meaning that individual molecules combine to form cells, which then group together to create tissues, followed by organs made of different tissues, and finally organ systems composed of multiple organs, all culminating in a complete organism.”
Fun!
Next two words that I am confused about! These two. I am a global learner; I like to understand the whole situation and then plug in ideas into that whole picture of understanding. So, I guess I would have to think of a whole person in this subject of anatomy when thinking of matter and mass. Such as organs and bones etc…
Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass: total amount of matter in an object.
I don’t like these definitions, but they are the only ones available to us. Does anyone have any suggestions about if they are interchangeable?? ok I guess not.
Atoms: the ultra-microscopic building blocks of matter. So, are cars made up of atoms? Yes. then the atoms combine to form molecules. This is in a car and a human body.
It says that atoms are the units of elements.
According to the Artificially Intelligent (AI) it says that:
“A unit of an element” the smallest particle that can still be considered that element, which is always an atom essentially, an atom is the basic building block of an element and retains all the chemical properties of that element.”
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
